computes a bidirectional scattering distribution function from |

|
a Radiance or MGF scene description given on the input. |
| 29 |
|
The program assumes the input is in Radiance format unless the |

and will include an MGF representation of the input geometry if the |
| 34 |
|
.I \+geom |
| 35 |
|
option is given. |

Normally, |
| 40 |
+ |
.I genBSDF |
| 41 |
+ |
computes components needed by a backwards ray-tracing process, |
| 42 |
+ |
.I \+backward. |
| 43 |
+ |
If both forward and backward (front and back) distributions are needed, the |
| 44 |
+ |
.I \+forward |
| 45 |
+ |
option may be given. |
| 46 |
+ |
To turn off backward components, use the |
| 47 |
+ |
.I \-backward |
| 48 |
+ |
option. |
| 49 |
+ |
Computing both components takes about twice as long as one component. |

|
The geometry must fit a rectangular profile, whose width is along the X-axis, |
| 52 |
|
height is in the Y-axis, and depth is in the Z-axis. |
| 53 |
|
The positive Z-axis points into the room, and the input geometry should |
